[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1541071, member: 73479"] Thank you for supplying more information. Most of my backpacking trips are in the summer into Sept. Yes at the elevations we hunt and camp it can and does get below freezing. Temperature runs 20 to 45 for the lows most nights. I take a set of merino wool long johns to sleep in and my quilt does fine. At the time of year you are talking about and you are liable to see snow you will probably want a good quality bag. Litehiker advise will probably be pretty good. He seems to have a good amount of experience with this type of camping. The one thing I would add is get a good pad with a good r value. To me this is almost as important as the bag itself. The one I have is something like exped (can't remember the name of it). But it has down filling and a built-in pump to air it up. Weighs a couple lbs. and is warm and comfortable (that is considering you are sleeping on the ground.) One thing to remember, when you are packing in especially during the winter the quality of the the gear used is probably going to either make or break the experience. Best of luck and have a good time. [/QUOTE]
